Pimento Cheese for Labor Day Weekend

One advantage to having a daughter living in the South, I am able to experience good Southern cooking. Pimento Cheese is one of my favorites. This classic cheese mixture can be used as a dip for vegetables, spread on crackers, as a filling for grilled cheese sandwiches, topped on a hamburger, or a spread for a vegetarian sandwich. It’s so good, y’all!

Mix the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper, if needed. Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill until ready to use. Transfer to serving bowl and serve with desired items such as baguette slices, crackers, or vegetable dippers. Serves 12 as an appetizer.

Note: I like to place the ingredients in a food processor and pulse carefully just until blended; you do not want a smooth mixture! I personally like the cheese a little more finely grated than I can do it myself. I only pulse it a couple times and it's done.

Why I Started This Blog

I love cookbooks. I mean I really love them. I love to read them, treasure them, learn from them, and, of course, cook from them. To me, cookbooks take on a life all of their own. They are history, family, and memories. I have been collecting cookbooks and writing down treasured recipes of family, friends, and neighbors since about age twelve, which means I now own thousands of cookbooks, recipes, and clippings. Now I want to share them with you along with the many other culinary treasures of my cellar." - Debbie Vanni
